Poor field conditions postpone L-W game
Lincoln-Way and Providence high schools had a summer league baseball game postponed due to a muddy field at Lincoln-Way Central. The 6 p.m. start was halted in the bottom of the first after Providence led 1-0 on Walter Yurkanin’s homer and Lincoln-Way replied with Rob Korneta’s two-run shot before the call. The game has been rescheduled for Friday July 16 with a 4 p.m. start at Providence and the original 6 p.m. game moved accordingly.
